Why This Strategy, Why Now
- RSI at 57 — neutral-bullish
- IV -26% vs avg — premiums below average, less income
- MACD bullish — stock has upward momentum
- ADX at 23 — moderate trend
- No squeeze — no imminent breakout
Key Risks
META has bullish momentum (MACD). If a positive catalyst emerges (earnings beat, product launch), the stock could gap past your strike. Consider rolling the call up if META approaches the strike before expiry.
